McInnis campaign reports $487K for Q4

GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis[2] raised more than $487,000 in the final three months of 2009, bringing their overall fundraising total to more than $1 million, the campaign said in a release.

Here’s an excerpt of what the campaign just sent out:

“The growing grassroots support for our campaign from every corner of Colorado shows how our common-sense message is working,” McInnis said. “We’ll bring Colorado together to spark job creation, expand economic opportunity and put taxpayers first again. It’s this positive vision that is causing Coloradans to financially support our campaign in strong numbers, and I am very grateful for this vote of confidence.”

In the campaign finance report filed today, McInnis reported $487,663 from nearly 2,000 donors – with half of the donations below $100. More than 85 percent of the donations came from within Colorado.

For the campaign to date, through two fundraising quarters, McInnis has raised $1,036,877 from more than 3,500 donors.

McInnis stressed that the very strong fundraising quarter continues the campaign’s growing momentum.

“We have a six-month lead in the fundraising race, support from every Colorado county, and momentum that’s growing every day,” McInnis said. “The optimism surrounding a new vision that will put Colorado first again is propelling us forward.”
